Rick Scott Announces BRS Aerospace Will Operate at KSC and Create 34 Jobs

On Monday, Gov. Rick Scott announced BRS Aerospace will take over what had been the Parachute Repack Facility at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), bringing in more than $7 million to the Space Coast in capital and creating 34 new jobs.

We are excited to announce that BRS Aerospace has chosen to open a research-and-development operation on the Space Coast, creating 34 new jobs for Florida families, Scott said on Monday. Our policies for Florida families and businesses to succeed are working. Floridas unemployment rate is below the national average for the fourth consecutive month, and weve created more than 333,000 private-sector jobs. The new jobs being created by BRS Aerospace are just another example that its working in Florida.

We are positioning BRS Aerospace for its next phase of growth into the space systems market, said Larry Williams, the president and CEO of BRA Aerospace which is based out of Miami. This opportunity calls for additional facilities to support our expansion and the NASA facilities help us immediately optimize operations. Additionally, we can draw on the local talent so that we can leverage their exceptional professional capabilities to deliver long-term value to our customers.
